INTRODUCTION-------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to a characters guide for Suikoden V. Considering that this game is
essentially a matter of playing Pokemon for all the random shopkeepers and
passers-by who just happen to be Stars of Destiny, this is essentially a list
of all the recruitable characters and how to get them, listed in chronological
order of availability. This guide is based on the Japanese version of the game.
The purpose of this FAQ is for checking missing characters, for the most part,
since it's an awful lot of hassle going over every single town and dungeon
after every major event with a fine-toothed comb. I may, if I have the time,
throw in combat/stat details at some point, but for now it's just a list of
how to get the characters.
The usual disclaimers apply: I'm fishing romanizations and translations out of
in-game text, but use my own translations when there aren't any. I don't own
the artbook and therefore have nothing on the official translations if there
were any. Phrases, locations etc are for the most part translated literally,
though I have taken a few liberties to convey approximate meaning without
having results 20 words long that wish they were written in kanji. This
guide assumes knowledge of Japanese. I'm probably not going to update the
names and so forth when the English version is released since I won't be
playing the English version.
And of course, as with any FAQ, this is chock-full of spoilers, so read at your
own risk. I've tried to leave out specific detail on plot, but reference to
major events is kind of inevitable.

SECTION 2: BASIC INFORMATION
===============================================================================
Basic information on how events and timing work.
-TIMING------------------------------------------------------------------------
Essentially, when a character's join condition is "after a certain event", the
event isn't considered completed until you go back to base and report in in
the council chamber. For instance, after finishing the Battle of Relkar, you
can't get any characters' events to occur until after you finish reporting in.
The game also keeps track of time - sometimes an event requires that you wait
awhile before advancing to the next step. In this case, just go poke around or
do other events and then come back later.
Note that you can't start collecting characters until after the first battle at
Rainwall after escaping Sol Falena, so don't worry about it in the prologue
parts of the game. You'll know you're in the prologue because combat at that
stage is a cakewalk due to the various Queensguard members who're always
tagging along.
There are a number of ways timing and choice wise to get the various
characters. The descriptions in this guide are essentially the ones for getting
a character as soon as they're available. There are different choices and
timing you can follow to get them as well, and as the game is rather long I
haven't had time to go test all of that.
Also, some characters require events to be completed awhile before they
actually join. The ones to watch out for are: Oboro, Muraad, Kirie.
-CHOICES-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're trying to just get people to join, normally it works to just be frank
about it and simply keep asking them. However, picking a different choice
sometimes initiates different events. Generally speaking it's not possible to
screw up choices so that someone doesn't join - you can usually find them
later. After a certain amount of time passes or a major event, you can usually
ask them again. There are of course exceptions to this rule.
Like most RPGs, it pays to be a busybody and stick your nose into everyone's
business. It also pays to be persistent, as there are characters who will only
join you after you've nagged them repeatedly as the game progresses.
-OBORO'S AGENCY----------------------------------------------------------------
After you get Oboro, you can use his agency to check background on characters
who have already joined and find characters who haven't yet (though you'll need
to have met them at least once first). Sometimes a character seems like they
should appear in a location and they're not; in this case, investigating their
whereabouts through Oboro will sometimes get them to appear.
-MISC--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting certain character combinations triggers events such as the letter box
and bathhouse. Depending on the timing at which you acquire various characters,
you may or may not be able to see these sub events (it's not always ideal to
acquire characters as soon as they're available).
===============================================================================
SECTION 3: PLOT CHARACTERS
===============================================================================
-TEMPLATE----------------------------------------------------------------------
>Basic template for character data:
===============================================================================
CHARACTER NAME
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Combat, support, or NPC
FUNCTION: Additional abilities/functions of the character at your base,
such as providing shops, minigames etc
BATTLE SKILL: The skill that this character provides in warfare
EVENT: Whether or not this character is required to fight in certain
event sequences (ie, whether you'll have to worry about level/
equipment for them). Obviously non-plot characters don't have
this section.
LINKED: Characters that join together. Note that sometimes if you lose
one of a set of characters that join together in warfare the
other(s) may leave.
PRE-REQ: Some characters require that you already have other characters
first.
AVAILABILITY: The event brackets when the character is available for
recruiting.
LOCATION: Where the character is found
CONDITIONS: Conditions for getting the character to join. Omitted for plot
characters.
NOTES: Misc notes
===============================================================================
Plot characters will join you automatically and you don't really have to worry
about them. They're usually pretty good in combat and won't die in warfare, but
sometimes it's possible to lose them during events.
